"No modern technology will exist without algebra, no mechanical invention without geometry, but nothing will exist without hard work and willpower."

Pre-Algebra is a course all students take in middle school. This course prepare students for an Algebra class which they will take in high school. These variables include things like the relationship between supply of an object and its price. When we use a mathematical statement to describe a relationship, we often use letters to represent the quantity that varies, since it is not a fixed amount. These letters and symbols are referred to as variables. (See the Appendix One for a brief review of constants and variables.)
